What were you doing just prior to this happening?

Did you or do you get any sort of error message or number displayed on the screen?

I had got it at a boot sale, there are no msgs just the hrglass then black screen with red light, it is never ending cycle of hrglass black screen red light. when you connect with usb it will appear with the hr glass and dissappear when red light comes on. so you dont get time to do anything

For the first time I have managed to get into apploader but just like in desktop manaager when it comes to stage 2 it keeps coming up with reconecting JVM and thats it hour glass black screen red light, it is goin to get bounced from a great height shortly lol

ok tried all the ports different usb leads stiil gets stuck at same point " wait of device intialisation" reconnecting to JVM " Unable to reconnect to the device during a multi-stage load operation. hour glass black screen red light. its now in the bin

But NJ mentioned make sure your BB has a full battery and try unplugging any unneeded peripherals from your computer that might be draining too much power, like a printer/camera/etc and give it another shot.

Just think about how far BlackBerries have come from then till now... And what else is coming.

I have left in charger all night, again has been goin through the loop so dont know if it charges bb or not. but I am at the end of wasting anymore time on this, unless there is something I haven't tried, I have done the apploader all the versions all end up the same, when it comes to intialisation it comes back on the loop again. I have seen alot of people with same prob but no one seems to come up with an answer. tried all the variations of when to put battery in.

Having exhausted the forums, alot say it is a usb issue, ok here's the prob then!!! have done all the power things, power output is 500ma per port, nothing in usb's apart from the BB and still it fails on waiting to connect, I have even tried a powered hub same thing. this seems to be a common prob and the solutions seem to work for some, Is there anything else i can try??? I hate a piece of plastic getting the better of me. I have tried mfi loader too did do different things but when went to install software went back to the loop again. i have grown a beard since i started this
